Summary

Strela-1M 97-104 launched on a Soviet Space Program Kosmos-3M (11K65M) from 132/1 (132L), Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation on September 17, 1975. It was Soviet Space Program's 950th launch, 64th this year and humanity's 1,741st orbital launch attempt. It was the 110th Kosmos-3M (11K65M) flight and the 13th this year. The payload was bound for low Earth orbit (LEO). The tracked orbit of Kosmos-761, one of 9 catalogued objects, from October 7, 1975, was 1,407 × 1,490 km inclined 74.0°. 9 objects from this launch are catalogued, 8 of them payloads.
